Master Fiddes to visit Kent

Posted on: February 5th, 2018 by David Finch

Master Fiddes VII Dan

Simon Langton Boys School, Canterbury

Sunday, 4th March 2018

We are very excited to announce that Master Fiddes (7th Dan), Head of the Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Organisation, will be visiting Kent on Sunday, 4th March 2018.

Due to the popular nature of such a visit we have had to pick a single, large location.  If it was possible, he would love to visit each location individually.

 

 

 

All students are welcome to come along, have a class and meet Master Fiddes.  The schedule will be as follows:

  • Mighty Matts: 4:30pm
  • Juniors & Adults: 5:30pm

More details will follow shortly.

December Colour-belt Grading

Posted on: November 15th, 2017 by David Finch

The last Grading Day for 2017 is fast approaching and I hope everyone is excited about the next challenge.

We will start the process of “tagging” this week and will continue this leading up to the Grading Day.  If a Black Tag has been awarded we will also hand out a letter explaining what to do next (homework, venue etc).

As always, if a student is not quite ready for the December Grading that is ok.  Martial Arts is an ongoing journey and there will be plenty of exciting challenges and opportunities ahead.

Here are the details for the Grading:

  • Students: White Belt – Blue Belt (incl.)
  • Date: Sunday, 10th December 2017
  • Venue: Simon Langton Boys School, Canterbury, CT4 7AS
  • Times: Mighty Matts – 0930hrs, Juniors & Adults – 1015hrs

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to speak to your Instructor and we look forward to seeing you all in class
